CI (Continuous Integration)
Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice where developers frequently integrate their code into a shared repository, usually several times a day. Each integration is automatically verified by an automated build and testing process to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. By integrating regularly, teams can detect and locate issues more easily, improving the overall quality of the software. CI involves the use of build servers and automated testing tools that check for code quality, security vulnerabilities, and other potential issues. This practice ensures that the software is always in a deployable state, enabling teams to deliver updates and new features faster and with more confidence.
